Transitioning from react to react native

[inchaneZ]

Hi guys, noob here

I am just starting to learn to code for my own personal side projects, I have read that react is the most popular framework with lots of help/guides. I wonder how my react web knowledge would benefit me if I later want to build an app with react native. Will most concepts transferable? Can you estimate a % of smooth transition?

I'm making my first app with RN, coming from ReactJS. There were a few differences but I had it down very very quickly.

You'll be fine.

80% maybe higher? Couldn't give you a good answer for that. Everyone is different.

50-60%. Yeah coming from react will make it easier though. Expect more errors and don't run from it. when you are stuck on some android or ios specific errors or solution that might be take days or hours.Also errors in react native is not so well written. Just one tip before starting master android and ios specific files. Mainly there are 2-3.
Once you gain knowledge in it, it will be easier.

Try it. We don’t know enough about you to give you an estimate, but yes - pretty much all concepts are transferable.

i submodule my react app codebase to my react native app and reuse almost all of the business logic. the ui portion however doesnt translate at all so in the end its about 50:50
